Auntie Em’s Protein Power Cookies

Looking for a better choice to satisfy your overwhelming sweet tooth? Love cookies but don’t want to feel guilty after eating them? Try these awesome cookies that will satisfy both your sweet tooth and meet your higher standards for quality nutrition and taste at the same time.

1 cup of Ghirardelli Dark chocolate chips (more if you like lots of chocolate)

Roll into little balls and place on cookie sheet. You can freeze these on the cookie sheet first and then store in a ziplock baggie until your cookie craving overwhelms you. Freezing them separately on the cookie sheet first prevents them from sticking to each other.
